On the daily time frame, wave (1) of 5 is likely unfolding, with wave of smaller degree 3 of (1) formed as its part. On the H4 time frame, a local correction 4 of (1) appears to be developing, with wave c of 4 forming as its part. If the presumption is correct, the USD/JPY pair will continue to drop to the levels of 151.73 – 150.20. The level of 157.00 is critical in this scenario as a breakout above it will enable the pair to continue rising to the levels of 162.00 – 165.00.
